What is Triple H net worth and salary?
Triple H is an American professional wrestler and actor who has a net worth of $150 million. Also known as Hunter Hearst Helmsley (hence… “HHH” or “Triple H”), Triple H has served as the Executive Vice President of Talent, Live Events and Creative at WWE since 2013. He is the founder of NXT, an offshoot WWE brand. Stephanie McMahon is the daughter of WWE founder Vince McMahon.
Career
In 1992, Triple H started his Pro wrestling career, using the ring name “Terra Ryzing. He won his first Heavyweight championship in 1992, after beating Mad Dog Richard.
With his wins mounting, Triple H signed a one-year contract with World Championship Wrestling, also known as WCW. Once signed with WCW, he started using the villain’s name “Terror Risin’” but soon changed it back to the original Terror Ryzing.
This nickname did not last long, as he changed his character to Jean-Paul Levesque, which involved him speaking in a French accent, and jumped at the opportunity to join WWE in 1995. He made his debut under the name Hunter Hearst Helmsley.
Unfortunately, his career hit a bump in 1996 when he lost a feud against “The Dumpster”. He made a comeback in 1997 when he defeated Mankind during the King of the Ring tournament. Not long after, he had shortened his name to Triple H.
He’s beaten some of the best wrestlers in the world, including Brock Lesnar and Kurt Angle, two of the very best in the business.
Triple H changed his name to “The Game” as a tribute to his former foe, Owen Hart. The new name didn’t stop the fans from renaming him, “The Cerebral Assassin”, though for his clinical way of dispatching his opponents.
After a few great seasons, he formed a group called Evolution, but unfortunately, the group did not perform up to standard and lost a bunch of matches before being pushed out of RAW altogether.
Very shortly after winning the World Heavyweight Championship in 2003, Triple H lost the title to Randy Orton, his arch-enemy.
He took this loss to heart and decided to retire from wrestling in the same year. Although he retired from active wrestling, he didn’t leave the industry, becoming the Executive Vice President of Talent and Live Events and most recently, Chief Creative Officer.
Salary and WWE Equity
Triple H also holds several million dollars in WWE stock. Notably, at the time talent agency WME acquired WWE, his wife Stephanie had about 2.5 million equity shares in WWE’s common stock. Over the ten years before the acquisition, the value of these shares ranged from $40 million to $225 million. With WWE’s shares acquired at $106 each, Stephanie’s stake was valued at $265 million.
Triple H Early Life
Paul Michael Levesque, known as Triple H, was born on July 27, 1969, in Nashua, New Hampshire. He watched his first wrestling match featuring Chief Jay Strongbow in 1974. At Nashua South High School, he played baseball and basketball. At 14, he started bodybuilding to resemble the wrestlers he admired on TV. After graduating high school in 1987, he kept competing in bodybuilding and won the Mr. Teenage New Hampshire title at 19 in 1988.
He managed a gym in Nashua and there met Ted Arcidid, a world champion working for WWE. Triple H persuaded him to introduce him to Killer Kowalski, who ran a wrestling school in Massachusetts. In 1992, Levesque moved to Malden, Massachusetts, to attend Kowalski’s school, where he trained alongside the future WWF star, Chyna.

- 5-time Intercontinental Champion

In 2004, Levesque released a book titled Making the Game: Triple H’s Approach to a Better Body. Mostly devoted to bodybuilding advice, the book also includes some autobiographical information, memoirs, and opinions.
In 2014, Levesque and his wife, Stephanie McMahon, created the Connor’s Cure cancer fund in honor of Connor “The Crusher” Michalek, a WWE fan who died of cancer at eight years old.
Levesque is a fan of the band Motörhead and was good friends with lead singer Lemmy. He spoke at the singer’s funeral on January 9, 2016.
How Does Triple H Spend His Money?
As part of his contract, Triple H received a few million dollars worth of WWE stock along with his wife, Stephanie McMahon.
He and his wife started a cancer charity fund to help raise money for pediatric cancer research after finding out about a former fan passing away from cancer.
Triple H has also founded the Triple H Trust, which helps underprivileged children and those in desperate need.
He has a massive garage and enjoys some of the most expensive cars in the world, but just doesn’t have that much time to enjoy them due to work pressures.
